If there's a tech downturn are you suggesting that we should still get privileges even when there aren't the jobs or demand to support it? I believe that we are well paid because of the demand and the amount of money a good developer can make a company. If that equation changes, then why shouldn't developers get laid off or lose their jobs? Currently, supply and demand is working very well for most of us, especially in SV. I would never trade my freedom for a union that, in all instances, become friction and the bureaucracy of the union benefits from my hard work.

It amazes me how entitled people can be. We are living well right now for sure, but if/when things change, we will need to adapt just like the truck drivers will have to after Tesla's self-driving semis put them all out of work (something this community will be paid a fortune to bring about, btw). And will the teamsters union be able to save all those truck driving jobs? I doubt it, unless they do it through politics...
